Do you think the use of sex in advertising works? does it make the product seem better than you originally thought? have you ever bought anything after seeing an advert for it which used sex as an aide? Please help, I would appreciate any commments for my dissertation. Cheers!

I think it depends what exactly you are advertising. most adverts have a link to sex these days anyway.

unfortunatly, things without sex in it somewhere hardly sell. even car mags for blokes av porn of some kind in, music videos have sex in it somewhere (every single one) even tv ads have it! newspapers... evenerythin these days is revolved around sex

But what's the deal with cars + women though? Why do they have to go hand in hand?? I'm a girl and love cars but everytime I see an advert/magazine with a car there's some tart drapped all over it.

Most cars are too bland looking to attract any attention without some **** stuck to the bonnet.

yes, if it didnt, why would celebes appear in music videos pretending to be naked....Holly Valance is the first one that springs to mind....and isnt the Toxic video got britney pretending to be naked in...

Two of the most memorable adverts ever were when they launched Superleague.

They had a picture of several Rugby (League) players totally naked with just rugby balls covering their vital area. This was at around the time of all the B.S.E. hype.

The caption read "Beef on the bone is back on the menu".

The second one was of two rugby players in the shower with one looking at the other, the caption read:

"How was it for you?"

They were posted on billboards all over England.

Needless to say this second one chalked up loads of complaints but it was hilarious nevertheless.

However, having said that, watching 'Tarrent on TV' they show adverts from all over the world, and the French and German ones are some of the raunchiest, no supirse there! (God knows what the Japanese are up to!)
